Dear ND Trinh,


The track length of each proton produced inside of the thick target is
different! Even in you example with isotropic source, the track length
within the target varies from minimum (half of the edge) to maximum
(half of the diagonal). As it shown in *sum.lis file:


      Tot. response (p/cmq/pr) 0.6107748 +/- 2.8535640E-02 %
      ( --> Track l. (cm/pr) 0.6107748 +/- 2.8535640E-02 % )


Best regards,

Mikhail
